A search for the IR counterpart of the black hole candidate 4 U 1630 - 47
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the first attempt to localize the IR counterpart of the recurrent, ultra soft X-ray transient 4U 1630-47. We have obtained two sets of K band images of this highly obscured region, during both outburst and quiescence. The recent radio position reported by Hjellming et al. (1999) allow us to perform accurate astrometry on the field. We discuss three stars which lie near the radio position: although two have colours which appear to be consistent with the reddening towards 4U 1630-47, neither are strongly variable. Deeper IR monitoring, during both outburst and quiescence, is required to reliably identify an IR counterpart.

Complex outburst behaviour from the black - hole candidate 4 U 1630 − 47
We present data from different epochs in 1978, 1987–1991 and 1996 from the black-hole candidate 4U1630−47. For the first time we present almost complete coverage of the outbursts which started in 1987, 1988, and 1996. We find that the outburst behaviour of 4U 1630−47 is more complex than previously realized. The source shows outbursts with durations on the order of ∼100-200 days and sometimes i...

We report the first detection of a pair of correlated emission lines in the X-ray spectrum of black hole candidate 4U 1630-47 during its 1996 outburst, based on RXTE observations of the source. At the peak plateau of the outburst, the emission lines are detected, centered mostly at ∼5.7 keV and ∼7.7 keV, respectively, while the line energies exhibit random variability ∼5%. Interestingly, the li...

We report on the detection with RXTE of variable high frequency features in the power spectra of the black hole candidate 4U 1630–47 during its 1998 outburst. We find high frequency features during the rise and the early decay of the outburst in the range of ∼ 100–300 Hz. The features are usually found to be broad, and have rms amplitudes of ∼ 2–8%; their frequencies are correlated with count r...
متن کاملAn Integral Observation of the Black Hole Transient 4u 1630–47 and the Norma Region of the Galaxy
We report on results from a 2003 February INTEGRAL observation of the black hole candidate (BHC) 4U 1630–47 and the high energy sources in the Norma Region of the Galaxy and on RXTE and radio observations of 4U 1630–47. To date, there have been 38 new or previously poorly studied sources found by INTEGRAL (the “IGR” sources), and 15 of the IGR sources are in the field of view of our observation...

We have re-analyzed two EXOSAT Medium Energy observations during part of the 1984 X-ray outburst of the black-hole candidate transient system 4U1630−47. One observation (May 10) shows fast timing properties (on timescales shorter than ∼250 s) typical of those of other black hole candidates in their high states. The power-spectrum shows a power law with index ∼0.7 and fractional rms amplitude (0...
